WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - DC Public Schools has released a guide with information, activities and resources for DCPS' youngest learners called the Pre-K Family Toolkit.

The toolkit is meant for new and returning families for the 2022-2023 school year. DCPS will also host workshops for families in August in preparation for the first day of Pre-K on September 1.

"Early childhood learning provides a strong foundation for long-term success for our students, and that is why DCPS is committed to supporting our students and families as they start Pre-K," said Chancellor Lewis Ferebee. "The Pre-K Family Toolkit and virtual workshops help provide our families strong support as they prepare their children for the first day of Pre-K on September 1."

WASHINGTON, D.C., MARCH 31, 2011. Pre-kindergarten children attend classes at LEAP Academy Early Childhood School (PreK3 Ð Kindergarten) at KIPP DC. KIPP (Knowledge is Power Program) DC is a network of high-performing, public charter schools in Washington D.C., which mostly serves the cityÕs under-resourced communities. Dozens of D.C. charters are offering preschool and prekindergarten, a rapidly growing trend that marks a distinct shift in the focus of the charter-school movement. The growth arises from the idea that students who start school early will make bigger achievement gains. (Photo by ASTRID RIECKEN For The Washington Post via Getty Images)
